The story...
I'm sitting hear trying to think of an example of when I was treated unfairly. I can think of a continuous stream of them yet I can't work up that one good example. Maybe it's because thankfulness has pushed out the space where I stored resentments? I hope so.
I'm so thankful today. Pain and suffering are sure to come yet my hopes for the future are positive. I look forward to continual growth and am thankful for life. Yes, I'm thankful for that last full breath of air as it entered my lungs as cool air and left as a warm exhale.
The people within the only church in town would be thankful and generally okay. The grace of God witnessed in action through people with skin on them. They'd be more capable of loving God, themselves, and other people too. Unfairness would meet up with grace - grace would win.
Just for today...
